ok guys, im looking for 18s for my 02ES. i want to spend about 250 a wheel, and am looking for a 5 spoke wheel. racing hart c5s, konig flatlines, and rota battles are all styles i like, but i dont know if any of them would fit bc of the 45 offset. any suggestions on wheels to get would be great.

5Zigen 5ZR Copse. Great looking wheels.



Real Racing Hart C5s have been discontinued and run 600-700 dollars each last I checked.

n2o im with you, those wheels are sweet. i am ready to buy, and have called literally over 50 5zigen dealers in the US, but nobody has them in stock. i called 5zigen and they said they are on backorder until the beginning of february. i guess ill just have to wait til then. thanks for the help.

They've still got C5s available(newer model w/ out the rivets around the lip) the older models w/ the rivets or whatever they're called are discontinued. If I'm wrong correct me. I like the new ones, IMO theyre cleaner cut. MTB, you should call that wheel guy Rishie.. he gives good prices/quotes. The new C5s are on http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/racinghart.htm, I like those six spoke CR Evos, as well. 18s would look sharp.

But is Exel any good? I looked at those exact wheels, and I also looked at the Rota Subzeros for myself. I'm not sure what offsets the Exels are offered in.

And the new C5 Evolutions are by RH Evolution. Not Racing Hart. They're also a one piece instead of a three piece like the original C5, which is probably one of the baddest wheels ever in my book. Those and the SSR GT3s.

i bought them at a local shop, they got dammaged in shipping, not that much, on 2 of them rims the edges have some small, very small scuffs that might buff out, the guy that they ordered theml for didnt like that so he made them order a new set, so they had these in teh back.

i went in the shop that day not even wanting to buy rims, just to get a cone, never did get the cone

aight, i guess ill wait and just try to get htem when they get off backorder on feb 1. ambient, sorry but im not interested in your wheels. im not sure that i like them as much as the 5zigens and i want a new set of wheels .thanks anyway.
as far as calling rishie at auto rnd, i have called them a few times. i made it very clear that i wanted rims NOW, and not whenever they feel like callin me back. i called them for a few days, trying to follow up on my request to buy 2 sets of rims and tires, but they never seemed to take care of it. i would really like to give them my business, but it didnt' seem like they were willing to go out of their way to get it. thats why i am looking around at other shops now for rims.
